“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows” — Bob Dylan

There is a new day coming. It won’t happen overnight, but in bits and pieces the health care system, like it or not, is being moved in a different direction. It is no longer about volume,

units of service, FFS payment for activity, and pay now and audit later. It is increasingly about value, outcome, bundled or global payment, and the end of “pay and chase” when it comes to right payment.One of the most significant changes in the Medicare and Medicaid program recently has been the introduction of “recovery audit con-tracting” (RAC) as a way of assuring that proper payments are being made for Medicare and now Medicaid services. Contractors are now incentivized with contingency fees to find improper payments to providers of government health care services. And the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provided a renewed sense of vigor and urgency to the process of rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Congress likes the concept. And the Administration counts on it for needed savings.But the new era is not just about payment and finances. CMS now publicly reports hospital 30-day Medicare readmission rates as a measure of hospital performance and “quality” with new financial penalties beginning in FY 2013 and beyond for hospitals with unac-ceptably high rates. Fair or not, properly defined or not, the penalties can be serious, and transparency and payment strategies are now seen as key tools for both reducing health care costs and improving health care quality.Finally, the Federal government and many national commercial pay-ers are now experimenting with new value-based purchasing designs based on hospitals’ demonstrated quality and financial performance, including the quality of the patient experience. Re-tooling and re-design are the new watchwords. Engagement of boards, medical staff, and patients are the new imperatives.The Summit will bring together the leading national experts in pay-ment policy, care delivery, operations, and technology and innovation from government, academia, the research community, health plans, hospitals, and consumer organizations. Highly successful models will be highlighted. Networking opportunities will abound. Special training programs are offered for both RAC and readmissions, giving hospitals the chance to send teams at reduced rates. In short, with so much at stake, this is a “must attend” event for health plans, health systems, hospitals, and their health care and patient partners.

Who Should Attend:This is a conference that stretches across virtually all aspects of hospital and health system operations and the provider partnerships that are important to them in this new value-based world. Those who would benefit from this conference and its training programs include:• Employersandemployercoalitions• Healthplans• Hospitalandhealthsystemchiefexecutiveofficers, chiefoperatingofficers,andchieffinancialofficers• Hospitalandhealthsystemmedicaldirectorsanddirectors of nursing• Patientsafetyofficers• Complianceofficers• Dischargeplanningandsocialservicesmanagers• RACLiaisons,coders,andpatientaccountsstaff• Healthcareattorneys• Practicingphysiciansandphysicianorganizations• Physicianassistants,nursepractitioners,nursecase managers and other allied health professionals on a primary care team• Communityclinicsandneighborhoodhealthcenters• Patientadvocaterepresentatives• Organizationsrepresentingvulnerablepopulationsand individuals with special needs• Diseasemanagementorganizations• Pharmaceuticalcompaniesandpharmacybenefitmanagers• Healthcareinformationtechnologymanagers• Accreditationorganizations• Federal,state,andlocalgovernmenthealthagencies• Vendorsandconsultingfirmsspecializinginauditsand appeals, revenue cycle management, transitions of care, health literacy and health coaching, risk adjustment, predictive modeling, clinical documentation improvement, patient safety, telehealth and remote patient monitoring, and quality measurement

CErTiFiCATE PrOGrAMS OFFErED in COnJUnCTiOn WiTH THE MEDiCArE-MEDiCAiD PAyMEnT SUMMiTGroup registration discounts enable hospitals and health systems to enroll teams of people with different job functions and skills who can complete the two special certificate programs that are available.

Learning Objectives: The purpose of these two certificate programs is to give participants the understanding and tools with which to work successfully on (1) Medicare and Medicaid RAC and MAC issues and requirements and (2) the emerging issues around all cause readmissions, but especially the new rules governing measurement, penalties, and assistance for Medicare readmissions. By the end of this training, participants will be able to create an action plan that will outline key initiatives to be taken with respect to RAC or readmissions implementation and track-ing in their own organizations.Program Description: These are practical, in-depth programs for those professionals who want to understand RAC and readmissions issues in the context of their own local settings. The program will be geared to those who have had limited training, but will also cater to those who have increasing levels of knowledge and training in the field.Program Completion: Those who successfully complete the course requirements (steps 1 through 6 above) will receive a certificate of com-pletion of the RAC Certificate Program or the Readmissions Certificate Program. A 40-question online examination, based entirely on specific RAC or readmissions presentations at the conference, must be taken within 90 days of the conference. Candidates must achieve a score of 70% or more to earn the certificate. Participants have three attempts, and different questions rotate through the exam.Are these Certificate Programs a Professional Certification? No, they are not. These programs constitute an attempt to organize a focused curriculum around implementation strategies and issues pertaining to recovery audit contracting and hospital readmissions, while giving evidence of successful completion of that body of knowledge through the issuance of a certificate of completion.
